Chapter 640: Chapter 0637: Elves Quarrel (Third Update, Reward of 10,000 Coins)
This chapter is the “Bullhead Berserker” bonus update.
————
Since neither the Sea Serpent nor the Rainbow Whale Rose were at Black Horse Island, Li Si Te couldn’t quickly rush to Fresh Flower Town, nor could he immediately head to Dodo Island to see Little Fire Dragon Leo.
So he spent his afternoon inspecting his own Thorn Castle.
After more than a month of construction, the peripheral buildings and facilities of Thorn Castle were essentially completed, and the main foundation of the Thorn Castle was under construction.
In front of the castle was a nine-hundred-plus meter long Tonghai Canal.
On both banks of the canal, they had just settled one of Yevich’s Elf Bugs—the Wolf Tail Grass Elf Bug. Wolf Tail Grass doesn’t have many uses, it can be used as feed for animals like cows, sheep, rabbits, geese, and fish, and its mature stems can be woven into various grass products. Additionally, it helps stabilize the banks of the canal.
This section of the canal near the castle was to house Li Si Te’s newly acquired Apple Minor Elf. It was there to create a larger apple paradise within Thorn Castle.
That way the apple garden of Fresh Flower Town Castle wouldn’t need to be transplanted anymore.
Under the Cordyceps Tree of the apple paradise, a round apple table would still be built, with a few chairs placed around it, which would be where Liszt and his knights would hold meetings in the future—his elite Knight Order had been decided to be named the Apple Table Knights. Perhaps not the most overbearing name, but meaningful nevertheless.
To the left of the apple paradise, a Shell Corridor had been built from various shells produced in the territory, serving purely as a decorative structure.
On the right was Fish Spring, and built above it, the Fish Spring Corridor, mainly for future outdoor barbeque parties.
Additionally, in the middle of the apple paradise there was a well, and a bird’s nest—the bird’s nest was the dwelling place for Landwalker bird Loki, Li Si Te’s main mount before dragon riding.
To the right of the castle was a newly constructed large ice cellar. Initially, a flower bed was planned around the ice cellar, but now Liszt had directly converted the flower bed into a Daisy Garden—Yevich had a Daisy Spirit Worm, which was perfect for cultivating the Daisy Garden. Daisies were ornamental flowers in this world, but Liszt felt they had value for making tea.
Without chrysanthemum available, chrysanthemum tea for removing heat and toxins could only be substituted with daisies.
To the left of the castle was also a well, and an in-construction Venus Flytrap Garden for housing the Venus Flytrap Worm he had purchased from Viscount Jonas.
Behind the castle was the horse ranch.
To the right of the ranch were stables and a well, for raising the horses of the castle and for noble guests to store their mounts; in the middle of the ranch was a training ground used solely for Liszt’s personal cultivation; to the left were several dog kennels, mainly for the Blizzard Beasts to live in.
These were essentially the main auxiliary buildings of the castle.
“By the end of this year, I should be able to move into this castle, right?” Liszt asked the architect Jomaya Bangtu, who accompanied him to inspect the construction site.
Jomaya replied, “Lord Landlord, if all goes well, we’ll definitely be able to finish the construction before the snow falls. We do, however, need the cooperation of your Blizzard Beast Squad to provide stone materials and columns for the construction team.”
“That won’t be a problem.”
After all, Douson and the Eight Tiny Ones would randomly cast magic, creating a lot of Rock Spikes. With this group of Intermediate Magical Beasts producing rocks every day, the territory would never lack stone materials. Sometimes, seeing the piles of rock growing larger, Liszt even planned to reclaim land from the sea.
He mainly wanted to reclaim land around Black Horse Port and turn it into a large sheltered harbor.
Black Horse Island was his independent fief.
And it was where his career had started.
One day he might leave the Sapphire Founding Nation, he might leave Black Horse Island, but the construction on the island would not be in vain. Firstly, all infrastructure could be sold at a discount to the new landlord, if not he had the right to destroy it; secondly, the talent cultivated during early construction was the foundation for the future.
Just like this Thorn Castle, its construction would train a group of outstanding construction workers, laying the groundwork for more future buildings.
And if one day the castle had to be sold.
If the new landlord couldn’t afford the sky-high price in Dragon coins, Liszt would rather tear it down himself.
…
The night.
The banquet was held in the port town, where officials from the small town, newly arrived knights, and mages were all invited to attend. They commemorated the knights who had bravely sacrificed themselves and drank gloriously in honor. The flowing delicacies and the continuous laughter created a banquet filled with the joyous smiles of victors.
“This time, the Pioneer Mandate has reaped huge benefits, and the brave warriors who accompanied me on this campaign, your contributions are being tallied. Gold Coin, titles, fiefs, as long as you’ve achieved battle merit, they are yours!” Liszt, holding a wine cup, spoke seriously, “The families of our fallen comrades will also receive the rewards and compensation they deserve, I guarantee it in my name!”
“Praise the Lord!”
“Praise the Lord!”
“Praise the Lord!”
The tidal wave of praise was unending. Liszt looked at the excited faces around him and the corners of his mouth lifted into an arc, and he took a long time to compose himself.
What was the desperate participation in the Pioneer Mandate for?
It was for the very scene he was witnessing now.
The increasingly fragrant and refreshing Fresh Flower Brew lingered on his lips and teeth, and Liszt quickly became drunk. Without using his Dragon Dou Qi to recover, he went to sleep with the attendants caring for him.
However, even so.
The next morning, Liszt woke up early, feeling not a trace of a hangover. No matter how drunk he got, his powerful Dragon Dou Qi would still spontaneously and swiftly restore his body to optimal condition.
After washing up.
Having enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and replenished the living supplies in his Gemstone Space, he took his Little Minor Elves, including Yevich’s elf, and boarded the Fresh Flower Vessel. They rapidly made their way to Fresh Flower Town, arriving in the afternoon to find the small town as bustling as ever.
Administrative Officer Isaiah welcomed him at the port, and even Butler Carter turned up to wait.
“Lord, welcome home!”
“Mr. Carter, good afternoon.”
After dismissing the officials to continue their work, Liszt, accompanied by Carter, returned to the Castle, which looked no different than when he had departed for war. From a distance, a psychic connection made him look up, only to see Thorn Minor Elf Jela, crying “woo wah,” “woo wah” as she flew over.
She landed right on Liszt’s head in an instant.
“Woo wah!”
She was expressing her longing.

Liszt took her in his hand and stroked the little leaf on her head, feeling missive, “Little guy, have you been mischievous while I was gone?”
“Woo wah!” Jela quickly denied.
But seeing the helpless look in Butler Carter’s eyes, Liszt understood that Jela had caused quite some trouble during his absence. He didn’t press the matter, instead signaling Jela to meet the new companions. The nine Little Minor Elves he called forth with his mind quickly stared at each other, wide-eyed.
“Chirp.”
“Grumble.”
“Ula.”
“Cack.”
The various calls overlapped, and the atmosphere as the minor elves met was clearly not friendly. Jela, accustomed to being bossy, became even angrier, hands on hips, and scolded the other little elves, “Woo wah! Woo wah! Woo wah!”
The Minor Elves retorted right back.
Instantly, chaos ensued.
Until Liszt glared at them, “All of you, behave!”
Only then did they reluctantly close their mouths, as the power of the contract was undeniable.
Carter wiped sweat from his brow in secret, “Lord, one Jela is enough to almost overturn the Castle, and now, with such rich glory you’ve won, you have so many Little Minor Elves… I fear the Worm Room in the Castle won’t be able to hold them all.”
“Turn the other vacant rooms into Worm Rooms, the well-behaved Little Minor Elves can stay together, the mischievous ones should be isolated… Anyway, make do for a while, when Thorn Castle is finished, there will be brand-new Worm Rooms for each Little Minor Elf to move into their own space.”
For now, everyone would have to squeeze in together, increase their education, and strictly forbid fighting.
